Just made one the other day to see what the hype is & to promote a clothes brand i'm starting with a friend. Any of you guys got one?

Mines got very little on atm, hoping to bulk it up over the next week & get some of the clothing line up.

Also i don't really get how you interact with other peoples blogs, not as simple as fb n twitter :?

you can usually click on a post to view it + get the reblog/like options, from there you can reblog it with a comment. some posts you can reply to if you're following the person. some people allow disqus comments on their posts. but mostly you can only reblog. follow people to have their posts and reblogs come up on your dashboard.

its not really all that interacty tbh. kinda weird and one of the reasons i dont really like tumblr that much. it's more of an image centred popularity contest than a lot of social media, also i have absolutely NO clue where most of the images on my tumblr originate. you can become super popular just by following the right people and reblogging their cool shit.

what IS fun however is making tumblr themes. i just started learning all that and have been playing around with it for a few weeks now. i will be good ONE DAY

+1

there's not even a basic message system, the only way to talk to someone is to put something in their ask box

Dead serious: I would follow that shit.

Up until now I was only keeping an eye on the fully naked hipster girl blogs, without UK bass tunes.
